Citizens of Earth

"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens."
Bahá’u’lláh, Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, 11. Lawḥ-i-Maqṣúd (Tablet of Maqṣúd)

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for Day 1126
Earth is our home and nature gives us so many gifts. Do you agree?

Citizens of Earth

Citizens of the Earth!
We are the recipients
of numerous gifts
and of unnumbered bounties.

As citizens of Earth
we have the duty to protect the planet
for ourselves,
for our children,
and for our children's children.

Humanity,
the citizens of earth,
need to become
the guardians of the planet
and the husbandmen of the Earth's resources.

We can no longer afford
to act as children
wasting the planet's precious bounties and gifts
in our pursuit of greedy profit
because our survival
and the survival of the Earth
depends upon our maturity.
